It’s great to see these albums reissued. The “Knife” track listing also includes five live tracks from the “Still On Fire” single and “Backwards & Forwards” EP.

13. Mattress Of Wire (Live At The Dominion Theatre).
14. Walk Out To Winter (Live At The Dominion Theatre).
15. The Bugle Sounds Again (Live At The Dominion Theatre).
16. Backwards And Forwards (Live At The Dominion Theatre).
17. The Birth Of The True (Live At The Dominion Theatre).

Oh these could be stunning; I was under the impression they were all single-disc affairs, so some of the 2CD ones are extremely tempting! All my Love-era 12″ vinyls won’t need to be painstakingly digitised now, and I’ve wanted the 7″ edit of All I Need Is Everything for 28 years. I’m assuming the prices will be the same for each, regardless of being one or two CDs?

Just seen that the pre-order prices have split between the 1 and 2-disc titles; High Land.. and Knife are only 6.99, the others remain at 9.00; so that answers my question! Knife is looking especially tempting.

Jeez, so High Land is faulty as well?! I’ve got that on order..well it can go straight back in that case. Love has a similar balls-up on the 2nd disc…they’ve repeated the LP mix of Working In A Goldmine instead of the listed “Sax Mix”. This just isn’t good enough, is it.

Best to just stick to the originals, because they haven’t even remastered them as far as I can tell; Love sounds as quiet as “flat” as the 80s pressing, which is perfectly good enough anyway.
